Considering building:

Windows 7 Professional
Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED 24"
EVGA 660Ti
WD Caviar Black 1TB Sata III (Storage)
Crucial 128GB (OS)
Asus Optical Drive
Cooler Master HAF 912
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB)
Intel Core i7-3770
Asus P8Z77-V
Corsair HX750

Total comes to ~$1,500

Am I missing anything?

This will be for a buddy of mine who will be building a multi monitor setup eventually, probably 3 monitors.

Use will be day trading, with very minimal gaming but a lot of multi tasking.

I personally feel a lot of the above is overkill, but he wants something futureproof that will last for a while.

Let me know what you guys think,

er..I'd forego the Vengeance RAM...Samsung or G.skill are both better.You could probably save some money on the motherboard and PSU and still get the same reliability/performance.
Also I noticed no "K" after that 3770, Will it be a "K" sku cpu or no?
